About
Dr. Jakub Stelmachowski is a leading figure in space robotics, with a focused expertise in autonomous systems for in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) and extraterrestrial construction. His most prominent work centers on the PRO-ACT project (Planetary Robots Deployed for Assembly and Construction of Future Lunar ISRU and Supporting Infrastructures), a Horizon 2020 initiative that envisions a collaborative multi-robot platform for establishing a permanent lunar base. Dr. Stelmachowski’s major contribution lies in pioneering the concept of heterogeneous robotic teams—three distinct robots with complementary manipulation and cooperation capabilities—to perform complex assembly and construction tasks in the harsh lunar environment. This work directly addresses the critical challenge of building supporting infrastructures for future human outposts without relying on Earth-based supplies. While his most-cited paper has garnered 7 citations, its true impact is measured by its foundational role in advancing the field of autonomous planetary construction. By demonstrating a viable pathway for deploying cooperative robots for lunar ISRU, Dr. Stelmachowski is helping to turn the long-held vision of a sustainable human presence on the Moon into an engineering reality.
